One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

Following Instagram posts can make you feel like other moms are either made of money or have sugar daddies funding their lifestyles. I can assure you. I have neither. There is nobody funneling money into my household except for me. And because I was an economics major and my dad was a banker, I am keenly aware of cash flow, assets and liabilities, and expenditures. Still, sometimes, I forget how expensive life can be. It's not because I lied about having a sugar daddy or have a trust fund.  It is because I am frugal. Indeed, being conscious of expenditures is integrated into my lifestyle.  I know that it is gauche to discuss money and yet, I feel compelled to share some thoughts.

Celebrating Thanksgiving!!!


In light of everything going on in our country right now, I am extraordinarily grateful. I am grateful to have my family with me. I am grateful that I have the privilege to parent my children. And I am blessed that we have a roof over our head, food to eat and the joy that comes in knowing that we love one another.



Life is fragile and tomorrow is not promised. So, I encourage each of you to honor the chance that you have been given today to love your family. If you're not together, give them a call. There are no clear answers with how to fix the problems illuminated by the Ferguson tragedy. However, it has taught us all to take nothing for granted.
